We have taken measures such as encouraging a group of people to return to their hometowns to start businesses, selecting a group of people to work in rural areas, and selecting a group of people to stay in villages for assistance, so that the vast number of retired soldiers can truly be helped. Soldiers show responsibility, perform well, gain honor and have status in rural revitalization, said Xu Xiaoying, member of the Standing Committee of the Gucheng County Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department.
Contribute "soldier power" to social governance
Social governance requires everyone to participate and contribute wisdom and strength, among which retired military personnel are indispensable.

With perseverance, he transferred more than 1,600 acres of farmland to farmers, implemented mechanized operations, and increased production and income. The sorghum he grows is directly supplied to Maotai Distillery , making him the envy of many big farmers.
On the road to rural revitalization, a large number of retired military personnel have truly become "leading geese" in leading economic development.
